What SHAREit is
SHAREit is a freemium app for sharing apps, games, videos, photos, and other files with friends and family. It runs on Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows, including desktop apps for macOS and Windows. Devices normally connect through their Wi-Fi radios without cables, Bluetooth, or an active nearby Wi-Fi network; an iOS receiving device must use the same local Wi-Fi network. The recipient must accept an invitation before a transfer begins. Multiple files or folders can be selected, including an entire folder, and SHAREit says file size has no stated limit, although very large transfers take longer. It describes speeds of approximately up to 200 times Bluetooth. The app also offers phone-trash cleaning, online media feeds, and a media player. Most features are free; some premium features require subscriptions.
